I wish we would do away with Daylight Saving time. The holidays are often times of sadness for lots of adults, and when we change our clocks back one hour, it makes it dark at around 4:30pm in the East, so not only is the darkness, depressing, but the holiday blues dont help.
It takes about 20 days for pigeon eggs to hatch. After the eggs are hatched, the baby pigeons are known as squabs. Both the mother and father pigeons will feed the babies crop milk, a protein and fat rich substance that is created in an esophageal sac called the crop.
Some pigeons take a break during the winter months, some donât. Feral pigeons will lay two eggs at a time. They incubate for about 18 days, then the squabs will be fed by both parents until they are ready to leave the nest when they are 30 days old. By this time the parents may have already produced another clutch of eggs (at around day 20), and the cycle continues.
